| Song lyrics |
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery,
In your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery,
In your eyes any more
Only sadness....only sadness
Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families turn, to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery,
In your eyes anymore.
Only sadness
And I see no bravery,
No bravery,
In your eyes any more
Only sadness.....only sadness
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says he has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery,
In your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery,
In your eyes any more...
anymore
And I see no bravery,
No bravery,
In your eyes any more,
only sadness...only sadness.

| Yes this song is about war, its about the war in Kosovo. He was in Kosovo as a "peacekeeper" and the song is about his time there. | 03-11-2005 17:09 starfrost |  39 posts

A very sad and powerful song. This one reflects James Blunt's experiences as a soldier in Kosovo.
Which one is the "he" who has been here? The soldiers, the war, the devil? | 19-02-2006 18:39 Back2Bedlam |  28 posts

This song is portraying a vivid picture of the after-affects of war. He is specifically sharing his experiences of what he has seen in Kosovo as a peacekeeper. "He" is the military force that destroyed the homes and lives of the people they targeted; who were only innocent families who died unmercifully in his eyes. "And I see no bravery" is the cowardice tactics of today's militaries; that is to attack cities hundreds of miles away. It could also mean that the townspeople have been so discouraged and weaked by these attacks that there's no hope for them to fight back, or even rebuild to survive. I hope this helps! | 24-03-2006 03:16 SRHCFC |  2 posts

I think "he" may, more specifically refer to Slobodan Milošević (obviously, spirirtually rather than physically), who I believe was the cause of these wars... but i'm not particularly well informed about these things, so i could be wrong | 17-04-2006 18:13 samplec |  17 posts

I give this a ten all around; just because the fact that James Blunt served in the British army. This in connection with my research leads me to believe that he has seen first hand the situations explained in this song. I may be wrong, and I am open to factual corrections. However, until proven wrong I will continue to believe that the lyrics of this song portray blunts real life experiences. | 18-09-2008 23:19 dance4me_alex |  8 posts

this song is so powerful. it jusr gives me goosebumps at the part where he sings, "...he has been here." I'm not sure what James Blunt is singing about, but some girls at my dance studio are doing a competitive number to this about the Holocaust, taking "him" as Hitler. I love this song I think the lyrics are just incredible Whoo! |
